Molly Ratto, 18 Black, is currently working with The Princess Project in an attempt to get used prom dresses to young girls who could not otherwise afford them.  She is using the NorCal Facility as a drop off/pick up station.  Looks for signs at the facility to find out where you can donate your old dresses.  Collections are being taken anytime between now and Jan 31st.  Good luck with the project Molly, let us know how it goes!!!

In the 4th grade, Katie Hattabaugh, went to an assembly about the negative effects of making chocolate on the rainforest.  She was so inspired by this assembly that she sent letter to all the stores that sold Hersey’s in Moraga.  Because of her efforts, OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware) stopped selling the candy bars in their stores and gave her a $25 gift certificate.  Way to make a difference Katie!
